Take time to smell the roses.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I know.  Can you imagine a NASCAR boycott? 

The speech was great.  I wish I was in school right now having a follow-up conversation.

Crap!  I meant to turn the speech on, but completely forgot.   :mad:

Go to your local news station.  I bet they have it taped there for viewing.

WASHINGTON – Former first lady Laura Bush on Monday expressed support for President Barack Obama's decision to speak to the nation's school children, saying it is "really important for everyone to respect the president of the United States."

Thanks Kim.  I'll look.  It's also going to be on C-SPAN's website shortly.

Look at the purely ignorant and stupid bitch that is first interviewed in this video.  :rolleyes:

While crying, she says, "Thinking of my children...sorry,  in school, having to listen to that, just really upsets me."

^^--- That kind of ignorance en masse is what makes me fear for the future of this country.

And this nugget from another one of the idiots:

"In an ideal world parents could send their children to school confident that what the children are being taught is what the parents want the children to learn."

I must be incredibly ignorant because I can't find much of a political message in that speech.

Would someone please help me find the socialism message?

Geez, musta been subliminal.

Or................maybe..........just, maybe.............it wasn't there?

That poor crying mom sure had serious reason to sob, didn't she?

And what was that look on her husband's face? A smile, like, "Wow, aren't you getting a little too upset?"
Ignorance and fanaticism are ravenous. They require constant feeding.

The future is a downward spiral.

Of course it wasn't but the point was never about the speech; it was about a black man forcing white children to listen to what he has to say.

Well, that can't be right. After all, the Earth is flat, and a downward spiral isn't possible in two dimensional thinking.
